StockCentral Member Notes Additional Toolkit 6 Feature
Kudos to SC Member Jeff Traeger, who noticed right out of the gate that there was one feature in the very long list of updates and changes that StockCentral had neglected to mention.
“I noticed that TK6 now charts the projected low and high stock price on the front on the forecast 5th year line of the SSG,” Mr. Traeger posted in The Toolshed Dec. 7. “I did not see this feature on the list of changes. Have I missed something and was the feature available prior to the new version 6.4.3?”
The response from SC Founder Doug Gerlach:
“You're right; I somehow missed that addition! It was added in version 6.4.3 -- after you select your future high and low prices, they are plotted on the Visual Analysis graph.”
Whew! There’s a lot of elbow grease represented in all the changes and new features now available in the Toolkit 6 update. Kudos to everyone at StockCentral who turned these stock study software wishes into reality.
DON’T WAIT! DAYLIGHT’S A BURNING!
